Morocco Ep 6 Ouarzazate - Merzouga

Leaving Ouarzazate I stop at the old film set of the horror film "The Hills Have Eyes" which unfortunately seems abandoned now. I continued with the snow-capped mountains before me heading towards the desert and the small town of Merzouga. On the way, I stopped for a couple of days in Tinghir to visit the famous Todra Gorge. I managed to drive through the gorge before the tourist buses began to arrive, it is one of the most visited sites in Morocco.
Leaving Tinghir and the Todra Gorge behind me I made my way along the N10 to Merzouga via Rissani. Gradually the rocky landscape gave way to the sand dunes on the edge of the Sahara and on reaching Merzouga camped in the La Gazelle Bleu campsite which is literally on the edge of the desert and at the foot of the beautiful golden sand dunes.
